Description:

The last zine group swap went well so I thought I'd run another one, but this time with multiple partners.

For this swap, make an 8 page zine out of a single sheet of paper -- A4 or 8"x11", depending where you are.

The subject of the zine has to be something to do with folktales or fairy tales. It can be about just one story (for example, you could do a zine about Cinderella), or about a group of stories (Celtic myths, for example) or something more general (such as the Grimm brothers). You can use words, pictures, quotations, poems, photos -- whatever you like.

PM me if you have any questions. Let me know if you want links to zine making tutorials like the ones I listed last time.

Can you please post some links? I have never heard of a zine. Thank you!

Seconding that request! It looks to me there are different types of zines?

I'm thinking here of mini-zines -- you fold them from a single sheet of paper. You can do them on the computer or do them by hand and then photo-copy them so you have multiple copies.

Some useful zine links:

Making a mini-zine

You tube film on making a mini zine

Another You tube video

A diagram for people who are visual thinkers

Another link

This link has good pictures

If you want, I can send out some extra zines when the swap happens. I'll be running more zine swaps in the future so if you miss this one we can do others.

Thank you for the links. I had never heard of this before but I can do it! The link that says "This link has good pictures" has a photo of the pages and their orientation so you can use it to make all your little computer pages come out right side up. Very handy!
